Today, these traditional architectural pieces with brick walls, tiled roof as well as wooden door and windows are listed as a historic site.

    Sun Moon Lake is amazing place and Tony brought us to a beautiful temple and pagoda. I think we need more time to explore Sun Moon Lake by boat or take a ride with gondola so please take a note of my suggestion.

    The tour is really good. Lots of temples and 'snack' breaks :
    The places you visit are great and we never felt rushed.
    I recommend this tour!

    I have been an avid viator fan, since I first discovered it a few years ago. Compared to my previous tours booked through viator, this has perhaps been the only and most disappointing one - particularly for how much it cost to book this 2-day tour. All the places that we visited were essentially free to the public and no additional excursions were planned to enhance this experience. I could have just as easily booked a bullet train through the MRT in Taiwan to arrange my own transportation and booked a hotel for less money and still would have been able to visit all the exact same sights.
    I would consider expanding the options for this tour - such as arranging a boat trip, biking excursion, and/or meals at nicer restaurants. If meals are not going to be included in this tour as they were not, I would shave off some money on this rather expensive tour. It was certainly just okay and could have been a lot better. I would not recommend attending this tour unless some changes are made.

    Overall the tour was enjoyable and informative except for the visit to Stop at the Guangxing Paper Factory to witness the elaborate process of creating handmade paper. Our guide told us that it was not included in the tour. The Sun Moon Lake Hotel sitting on the edge of the Lake was peaceful and enjoyable especially in the evening and at night and the dinner food was above average.
